With all those ai bubble not yet bursting especially the quantums and the cryptos. Inflation still high, debt is high, market is euphoric, then all of a sudden tarriff everywhere then cost cuttings. I bought this 4 small gold mining stocks (srb,thx,altn,mtl).when you look at what happen in 2008 recession almost all sectors are down but gold holdup well. We saw sept 2008 price of gold was $1290, While 2nd month of 2009 onwards the price was $1380 and went up more. Gold was used for centuries for trades. They didnt use barter system. They use gold.
